Greentwinkle: good idea.. so cute..

I used a wooden mini box for my bands on my solemination 2 yrs back.. putting my old couple rings now..

Saggiegirl: did you take the ivory or red guestbooks?

Angelina: ur hotel/restaurant doesn't provide arh?

 

[greentwinkle12]

saggiegirl> me saw your post in fb group on An chuang

"need to buy a set of new bedsheets (cannot be mourning colours). If possible, get pink, lilac, red...those auspicious colors"

my new set of bedsheet black & white! intending to use for the wedding day.. haha.. dunno in-laws pang tang anot.. cos i dun think they saw our new bedsheet set..

 

[lovingyou]

greentwinkle: i guess it depends ya? But preferably something bright?

 

[saggiegirl]

littlewoman> i took the ivory guestbook

greentwinkle> hmm... better trust the old sayings ba

usually an chuang is for the bridal bed mah

so ppl surely use auspicious colors

for those who are not getting red, can try pink, maroon, lilac, ......

coz traditionally black is not very auspicious mah...

 

[greentwinkle12]

we bot 2 red cushions for the bed though dunno can pass anot.. sadcase.

 

[saggiegirl]

greentwinkle> hmm u can sound out ur in laws lor

this is really up to individual preference

for our side, coz we still practice traditions, so we get those maroon color with cute xi cartoons de lor... MIL and mama are OK with it

 

[babylina]

littlewoman> no lor.. my restaurant dun provide..

 

[lovingyou]

Gals, what about those usual stuffs like baby's bath basins etc? I am thinking, since I am staying with my parents, can I dun get all those, no space to keep those things too..

 

[lovingyou]

Angelina: hmm.. perhaps you might want to take a look at those shops that sells notebooks etc? You might be able to get nice guestbooks from there?

They have branches at City Link (linking to Marina Sq), Raffles Place etc.

 

[chocolatecoco]

Anyone getting MUA to stay for the 2nd march in?

 

[freegoer]

littlewoman> it is unavoidable ... looks like you will need to store it somewhere first.

 

[lovingyou]

Freegoer: are you aware of the meaning behind it? My mum is rather okay.. she leave it up to it.. but a little hard on my MIL side.. hmm.. can I jus throw it away after the GDL?

 

[saggiegirl]

huh?? no lar...the bedsheets u can still use after ur wedding de mah

 

[lovingyou]

Saggiegirl: except the bedsheets and bed lamps.. I find the rest like... coz my HB and I are living at my parent's place after AD, I dun have a place to keep.. not even my room, as my room has 3 wardrobes and dressing table..

[cherie81]

Like bed lamps, alot of colour pens for wedding night, bedsheets, corsages, "xi" sticker,

Can I skip the traditions stuff like baby's bath basins etc cos ... so mafan... I even want to skip dragon phoenix candles

What else did I miss out????

What is the tradition reason behind to get new pyjamas??

I think i going to skip alot of the tradition things cos nobody to help me... my mum dont know anything and my MIL not around already and left his sister who only knows how to use their mouth to talk and not helping at all

 

[lovingyou]

Cherie: my MIL wants me to change my bed, which my HB and I refuses..

Reason, I've just re-furnish my bedroom with all the new furnitures and my HB told her that not much diff since we are the ones who have been and/or been sleeping on the new bed ever since we bought it..

I will be getting the candles probably for praying to ancestors, bed lamps, bedsheets and the sticker.. the rest, like basin, potty etc, dun think I am getting it.. Told my mum about it.. my mum told me that she leaves it to me..

 

[felifeli]

so hws ur preparation ??? i jsut realise alot of thing nt yet buy...

 

[felifeli]

queen, i also very stress out lor...

 

[freegoer]

[precious_11]

[taime81]

littlewoman > My nail plain 1. It is pink french with with pearl & crystal only.
Kind of normal, just that it is bling bling.
Did it @ Toa Payoh.
What logo you referring to for T-dragon?

Me heading to taiwan this sat.
Btw, i'm ordering nu ren wo zhui da items from
http://www.payeasy.com.
If there is any items you gals are keen, i can bring back for you all.

 

[cherie81]

Hmmm... I only targeting for 1 child... LOL so no need alot of children. I thot the bed lamp also have the same meaning. The main problem is buy so many things PUT WHERE??? LOL

... Then I think i skip the pyjamas also.

 

[taime81]

Angeline > I also never buy my gdl stuff. Only bought my teaset and bowl set when i saw it @ raffles place.

greentwinkle > My wedding bedsheets is ivory too. But got bride and groom embroidery which i love to core. =)

I'm using the guestbook from the hotel.
Thinking if i should have the photo pasted on the guest book, printed using canon photo printer but it is like a lot of job thou my colleague have the printer to loan me.

maybe will go taiwan see if got other wedding stuff nice, will get it from there. LOL

 

[cherie81]

where you all get your bedsheets?? I cant seem to find. Looking for those with Xi words on it.

 

[taime81]

Cherie > I saw it at chinatown cheap. $75 for bedsheet & quilt set., silky material.
I bought mine @ $175 (that is after 20% discount) with embroidery and customization with our names on pillow.
Heartache when i see the $75 last sun cause i can buy 2 set still got extra $ leftover.
But i must say mine one is really much nicer thou.
Alternatively, you can try aussino, the also have the wedding bedsheet.

 

[dizonne]

ARGH!!!
Already stress enuff planning for wedding le, and stil got to bear nonsense frm the stupid old hag..

kaozz...kip saying she nt pantang, then kip ask us to do tis n tat juz coz sm relatives sae so...
alreadi more than a mth after GDL, stil can sae we supposed to giv her tis, giv her tat...kaozz...
duno wat kind of woman she is sia...

she happened to ovaheard our conversation tat one of mi gd frend nt giving AP, coz she pantang..haven wedding, cant be others BMS, not giv APs..then tat woman make hell of a noise...if peepz comment her religion & beliefs, she gets angry...then wat rite does she hav to critisize others??

And can u believe it, my bf was telling them tat some of his colleagues not coming to the wedding, and the 1st ting she asked was got giv AP ma?? n when mi bf said they didnt sae aniting, she got angry and scolded my bf..still expect him to go back to the off and demand AP from those peepz..n expect him to tell them off for not even giving AP, parents neva teach, etc...

Wah laoz...i neva eva see peepz like tis...
i reali cant understand wat is going thru her mind...
Is she reali in her fifties? I reali wonder hw she can survive till now sia...
so un streetwise...

 

[cherie81]

Charmaine> Which part of chinatown? Saw the aussino bedsheets dont really like what they had there.

 

[taime81]

Cherie > It is the old chinatown market, level 2 is food market. Infront is CK dept store. You know where? Opp is i think is call pearl centre if not mistaken.

They have few shop selling bedsheets & quilt & they all carries the same items. So you can ask around to see who give a better rate.

 

[bliss_bb]

Calling for Ashley.... we got 1 common fren, Dennis Zeng ...hehehee

 

[cherie81]

Charmaine> Thanks. I think I know where it is.

 

[bliss_bb]

i also yet buy anything for GDL and An Chuan except my mummy bought bedsheets for us.

My inlaws have ordered GDL package from one of the shop in Chinatown.

Angelina> As we be having AD this year, we still need to go thru An Chuan thou hse yet come.

littlewoman> dun think I am getting basin, potty etc, cos my parents say no need & no place to out all these things. MIL never say anything also... heheheeee

 

[taime81]

My hubby never ask his mum for opinion.
My mum is not very traditional, ask her she always say dun know. Ask me check with grandma. Lol luckily grandma not pantang. But not sure abt mil. =) Me also no hse yet.l An Chuan also dunno how cause after An Chuang Cannot sleep on the new bed!!!

 

[bliss_bb]

Cherie> think bed lamps put in our wedding room either beside bed / dressing table.

Btw, I also target to have only 1 child due to my age.. Too many kids will cause me headache, gonna give up freedom to look after them.. whahahahaa

New wedding design of aussino bedsheets will be coming next month (I heard from the sale person in Bishan outlet).
